LegolaSS's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Myra In Her Study]

Fantastic!

the amount of detail is mind blowing... im going to take it you used textures for the chair and wood effects?... i love how you paint your shiney areas so well... its really nice and well done... the linework is pritty flawless... just a few points...

the dragon looks like its glowing but theres no lighting on her face or hand...
the chair legs *the one at the back* isnt making any shadows onto the floor and looks like the whole image has just been dropped onto the background...
possibly dull down some of the items on the table... so they dont look so refined like you have donewith the books underneath...
it would have been nice if the picture in the fame was something you did... *i think you didnt anyway :3, could be wrong*
as always in your work there seems to be little hickups... but nothing that cant be fixed... a few more been the texture just peeps out of the linework behind the chair and possibly a few more shadows where required...

i really like the "mood" in this picture... the hue of the light is lovely...
another fantastic work!!!

Sabtastic responds:

Oh man. lol I'm definitely going to have to fix those little details at some point before I print this. D:

You've got a good eye for detail, man! Thanks for the critique!! :D
Will repost eventually.

[COMBINE!?!]

lovely colours!

the linework is flawlessly perfect!, and im completely overwhelmed by the awsome colours and tones... i cant find many flaws with this pictures... for example i feel that the "clips" on her straps could use with a little something, but its still good as it stands, also her face seems very pointy... but thats your style... might want to make some of the tones darker in shaded areas, such as the cloth inside her top been a tad darker... im completely in love with them eyes... perefect!...

StellaLunaChan responds:

Thank you <3

[Waiting]

hmmm...

this one looks really rushed... the linework isnt bad, but you can see some of your workings on the brances and leave behind her, i think the stars arnt carried on underneath the brance... the colouring is good... i like how the shades mix in extreamly well and give you that cool, cold night theme and feel... her hands look really small... or her head is really big compaired to the rest of her... also i have to agree with shinobi-hunter about the hair... it seems really strange, i know your trying to get the pespective right but i felt it stood out like a thorn, also her eyes are really piercing which i feel was nice with how it still stands out while fading into the darker area of the picture, your getting an 8 beacuse i really do like the colours and colouring... but i fell you rushed this or just got fead up with it, so im going to mark you down due to the fact that this isnt the best work from you... i was a bit disapointed but still, i really love the colours, but i felt the linework let you down.... sorry sabs :(

Sabtastic responds:

Hehe - can't sneak these past you, huh? ;P

Yeah, this is one of my quicker works. Originally, I was thinking of not submitting this at all, because it was one of those 'experiment' type pics. It was a really rough sketch, so I thought i'd try out a new technique or two while quickly colouring it.

Mostly I just tried screwing around with gradient coloring and glow effects.

Thanks for the review, as usual~!!
I think 8 is still plenty generous. ;D Even your "disappointed" reviews are super nice! :3

[Villain Chibis - Bizarro Style]

if Joe and cakes had babies

that were superheros... they would look like that... love how you managed to gather both artists style... roll them up and squish them out onto the screen like that... while also adding your own personal touch... love it lots!!!... keep up the fantastic work sab's... :D

Sabtastic responds:

lol
Awh, you flatter me. XD

THANKS LEGOLASS!! I MISSED YOU GAIZ!

[Vroom vroom]

dont mind if i do :D

fantastic!!!... complete with handelbars!... now

of course this needs a bit of a tidy up but thats beacuse its a sketch... the theme carried throughout the whole picture, some lovely sweeping curves and funky pointy bits... got everything so right with so little lines and tones... i can not praise your work enough... i just love looking at the doodles you create!...

BizarroJoe responds:

I was going for something happy and cheerful and <3.
These are not exatcly "sketches"... This is how I draw using paper, pencil, a sharpie and a grey marker. And as I told in the previous picture, they are small, so when blown up like this they don't really look that good... And look at some of the stars... That's my wrist telling me "stop NOW"...
Anyway, I must say that If I should do a comic, that's probably how would it look like. And fortunately, I'm starting to feel good with this media, so who knows... I'd like to show a bit storytelling...
I'd wish Newgrounds had some type of "folders" to arrange your pictures... Maybe we could suggest that to Bob (Or whoever responsible.).

Oh! I forgot:

good.. getting better

first of all... how did you make the background?... use some sort of texture brush which makes most of the shapes n stuff???...

second... gradients... i use them all the time... but you really need to add extra shading over the top of it... on a different layer use a 25% roughly alpha of black and just "trim" the edges and areas where you think there should be some shadows going on... apart from the wobbly line syndrome... your really starting to improve...

LinaInverseFan responds:

No. I made 1 leaf-like object, copied it, changed its color on the new paste, and repeated that till I had a decent bush. For the trees I used a pale color size 5-6 brush, then on top of that I premade textures. Finally I messed with the 3 tree layers opacity, to give the forest depth.

Alright, I'll utilize your shading advice on my next digital image.

And what do you mean by "starting to improve", JK.

[BizarroGirl]

WOOO WOO WOOO!

Hell yeah... now thats what i call Bizarro style... fantastic pixel styled background with them smoooth curves and lines... athough im pritty sure i have seen the linework for this picture before... hmmm... anyway... lovely job mel :D 10/10

purefey responds:

Yes, like I said in the description I just coloured one of his posted sketches, with his consent. I hope he likes it! xD

[Yamato Nadeshiko]

hpmm...

very cool and uber stylish... but seriously... it justs seems to painfull and cringe worthy when i look at it... love the style still... think its fantastic... love the shine on the sword handel... overall... i cant see any flaws in your design... and the colours just complete it... fantastic!

BizarroJoe responds:

REGORASSU... TEMEE... ARIGATO...
(thank you very much, Lego! she's using the blunt side, you know.)

[Sunny]

lovely... few things

right a few things to point out... the skin is lovely... the tones are fab and i think you shouldnt change anything... apart from...

posibly tone down the earing as they seem rather bright (fake) , make that thing around her neck fit better... possibly some shading under it so it doesnt look like it was put ontop of it... along with some shadows under her head *on the neck* put in her missing arm, and on her arm make the pink/white tone go alot darker towards her side as its to bright *like you did further down her arm* but do it all the way up to where you started doing it again :P... its like you forgot to do it... i like the shine effect but the whole body could use with the lines smoothing up alot, like the lines with gold in on her brest as well as other places... the hair is flawlessly done and i love the face... fantastic for your 5th try!!!...

SunnyRays responds:

hmm thanks thats really good advice...will keep in mind for future stuff, yeah I admit I did get lazy once I got to the body lol...who knew my eye would start bleeding at 3am :D
